State wants bike riders’ input Submitted Report NASHVILLE — As bicyclists across Tennessee prepare to hit the roads to enjoy the fall scenery, the Tennessee Department of Transportation is asking bike riders to rate their experiences peddling on the state’s highways. The new online survey will be used as TDOT officials work to update the state bike route network. Input from the survey will help guide the department in developing a comprehensive bicycling network, assess state routes with respect to bicycle suitability, and determine future action items relevant to furthering the goals of TDOT’s Bicycle and Pedestrian plan. In order to provide con-
nections to cyclists’ destinations, TDOT invites the public to participate in the online survey by Oct. 30. The survey is available at www.tn.gov/tdot/ bikeped/default.htm. In 2005 TDOT’s 25-year plan recommended a statewide bicycle system. Since that time, the department recognized that changes call for an update to the existing bicycle route network. The state has made major improvements since that time. This year, Tennessee jumped 19 positions in the annual ranking of Bicycle Friendly States by the League of American Cyclists, from 43rd to 24th.
Knoxville was named a Bicycle Friendly Community at the Bronze level by the League of American Bicyclists, joining Chattanooga.
